Metallics JWDS1V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics JWDS1V self-drilling drywall screw go through metal studs without pre-drilling?
Yes. The JWDS1V is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it drills and taps its own hole in light gauge steel framing. The stated panel thickness range it works in is 0.350 - 0.100 in., and drill time runs about 2.5 seconds on a 1 mm thick plate. No drill bit or tap step needed, which is where the labor savings come from on a stud run.
2) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American requirements for a federal job?
The JWDS1V is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
3) What size Phillips bit do I need for these #8 wafer head drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.176 - 0.189 in. across and 0.255 in. deep, which is a standard #2 Phillips profile. Use a fresh bit on high volume work; a worn #2 will cam out before you reach the 42 lb-in minimum torsional strength the screw is rated to.
4) Why use a wafer head instead of a bugle head drywall screw?
The wafer head is a wide, low-profile head, 0.359 to 0.38 in. across with a 0.025 to 0.035 in. head thickness. That broad bearing surface holds thin material and panel edges without pulling through, and the flat underside sits nearly flush. A bugle head is the one you want when you need the head to self-countersink into paper-faced gypsum. For fastening track, backer, or metal-to-metal under a panel, the wafer is the right pick.
5) How many Metallics JWDS1V screws come in a jar?
They ship in a jar of 500, and 500 count is the order minimum. Jar packaging is the practical one for a service truck or a shop bench since you can scoop and reclose without a bag tearing open.
6) What are these drywall screws made of, and will the zinc finish hold up?
Carbon steel to AISI 1016 - 1024 with a zinc finish, case hardened to Rockwell C32-40 so the drill point can cut steel without rolling over. Zinc plating is a dry interior coating. For exterior or damp locations, specify a stainless or coated exterior fastener instead.
7) What thread pitch do these #8 self-drilling screws have, and what standard are they built to?
18 threads per inch on a #8 diameter, built to SAE J78 - 2013, the standard covering steel self-drilling tapping screws. If your submittal calls out J78, this one answers it directly.
8) How much does a 500 count jar of the JWDS1V weigh?
About 1.66 lbs for the jar, with the container measuring 3 x 3 x 3.6 in. Small enough to keep several sizes in a pouch or a bin without eating up bench space.
